Christian was one of the parents who had volunteered to drive the children to Hvolris and pick them up again.
Meanwhile I went to the school to wait for Emil when the whole class came back there. I think it's extremely important to be welcomed back in a propper way ;0)
Emil was SO tired when we came home - he just had a bath and went straight to the couch to have a rest. And he hasn't really left if yet!! I baked a whole lot of "Kanelsnegle" (direct translation must be cinnamon snails!!) because I knew how much they would be appriciated by a former Iron Age boy...
The beautiful "Kvindekniv" and the breadtray you see above, is something Emil made at Hvolris. I think the camp was a brilliant oppertunity to try how hard it was to live once. When knives - and a numerous amount of other daily tolls and food - couldn't be bought at a store and you had to make them yourselves....To try the work with your on hands.
This funny woodman Emil found there as well - I just love him. He has a georgeous surprised expression in his face....
This afternoon I have also been going through a bit of my sewing patterns. I'm looking for some shorts' patterns, because I have promised Daniel and Simon - our neighbour boys - to make them some shorts. They picked out the fabrics themselves and with the sunny weather forecast I just saw, I had better move on.....
Sikken en fin kniv han har lavet! Meget imponerende.
ReplyDeleteVar til vikingemarked i Århus i søndags. Så blandet andet hatte og ssokker syet via en gammel teknik - nålebinding - så vild flot, og også enkelt ud. Har søgt på nettet, og der står at det er en håndarbejdsform, som er meget venlig for skulder og nakke...... Kunne rigtig godt tænke mig at lære det - må på biblioteket...
What a wonderful knife! Did he really make that one?? I do think first-hand experience is the best way to learning and understanding. What a glorious welcome with kanelsnegle!
ReplyDeleteJa, jeg var da også helt imponeret, Gitte...han har dog fået hjælp skal det lige siges.
ReplyDeleteJeg holder også meget af den slags markeder. Man bliver så inspireret af alle de mennesker der går så højt op i deres håndværk.
Nålebinding, hmmm....det har jeg aldrig hørt om men det lyder utrolig spændende. Lige en håndarbejdsform for mig!!
Jeg må lige se det på nettet...
Hav en rigtig god - blæsende - onsdag :0)

It is wonderful indeed, Anna - he made a lot of it himself, but a grown up from Hvolris helped all of the children.
He learned a lot by being there, that's for sure and he found it exciting.
Emil just loves Kanalsnegle - and although I baked 40 cakes, a lot of them have allready been eaten!!
Det lyder til at det har været en fantastisk tur... kan godt forstå han var udmattet. Den lille træmand er da fantastisk skøn og charmerende ;0)
ReplyDeleteDet var virkelig en god tur, Dorte og Emil klarede hjemveen SÅ flot :0)
ReplyDeleteJeg er også helt vild med træmanden - nu skal vi bare have fundet et rigtig godt sted hvor han kan stå ;0)
